Think of a Harvard history professor, and the first thing that comes to mind might be a stodgy, Exeter-bred Brit sporting a tweed jacket, suede elbow patches, and a bowtie. Timothy P. McCarthy ’93, Quincy House tutor and style guru, and Hist. and Lit. and Women, Gender, and Sexuality (WGS) lecturer, offers something totally different.

In the 1970s, Frank sensed an unquenched niche in the rambunctious U.S. college-student market and began importing the near-unknown German liqueur Jagermeister, sometimes compared to cough syrup. With the help of a cadre of pretty "Jagerettes," who poured free shots in bars, the brand soared in sales from some 500 cases...

"I do one thing at a time," she says. "I do it well, and then I move...
